If you were a fan of the old Cruzado releases, you will find this to be completely different and lacking that quality which you loved in the original Cruzado line. It just lacked that awesome sweet spice from the Criollo tobacco in the original blend.
The first third had a nice flavor combination including chocolate and then settled into a primarily woody profile. Strength was right around medium the entire way. This is a cigar that I would actually like to try in a longer vitola to see if the flavors have more time to build and transition.
As the name suggests there is a Day of the Dead theme, this cigar is a tribute to those no longer with us.
This was a great cigar that I can smoke all day. Well rounded body and flavors providing sweetness, spice, bitterness, delicious retrohale and finish. Nick Melillo blends a killer Connecticut shade cigar!
Santa Muerte is being released in small batches leading up to its official birth date of November 1st.
This was a well executed, smooth, flavor forward cigar. The soft but flavorful notes were well balanced and finished clean.
This is an interesting cigar and an interesting concept.
